Amber- Guardian Stone of Endurance

 

1 Peter 4:1-11, “Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.”

“In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason, the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”

“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.”

“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Isaiah 41:8-13, “But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest regions, and said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”

“Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them— Those who contended with you. Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’”

Amber is the special guardian stone that helps us to find courage, steadfastness, and patience while walking through the trials and opposition during our journey to fulfill our calling, purpose and destiny in life with God through Jesus Christ.

Hebrew 13:1-6, “Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.”

“Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.”

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So, we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Rephrased, “Show compassion and brotherly love at all times. Don’t forget to be hospitable and welcoming to strangers, as some have unknowingly shown kindness to angels. Remember prisoners who are being mistreated, as if you were in the same situation – after all, you too have a body.”

“Marriage is a respectful and dignified institution, and it should be honored by all. Those who strayed from its path through fornication or adultery will be judged by God.”

“Contentment is all-important because God will never leave you. You can boldly declare, ‘The Lord is my help; I won’t be afraid of what humans can do to me’. Let your every action be free from greediness and accept the things you have. After all, as He Himself said, “I will never abandon or desert you.”

Amber, scientifically known as succinite, is a beautiful stone that shines with warmth like the sun. It has been known for centuries to bring courage, steadfastness, and patience in the face of trial or opposition. This is especially true in our spiritual journey in life with God and through Jesus Christ.

Amber acts as a beacon of light that guides us on our path toward our calling, purpose, and destiny regardless of whatever challenges come our way. It literally infuses us with strength and motivation from within to press through all obstacles to success. Amber is truly a guardian stone of endurance that offers both spiritual and physical rewards for those who wear it or keep it close during their journey toward greatness.

2 Peter 3:1-9, “Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”

“For this they willfully forget that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”

“But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

Joshua 22:1-6, “Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, and said to them: “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. You have not left your brethren these many days, up to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God. And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” So, Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.”
